Current Research
Professor Kapil Sayal's research interests and expertise include Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs), developmental epidemiology, Health Services Research, child and adolescent mental health in schools and primary care, ADHD and depression. He carries out epidemiological research in ADHD including long-term follow-up studies. His programme of Health Services Research includes intervention research that aims to improve the identification of, receipt of care, and outcomes for children and young people with mental health problems in school, primary care and specialist clinical settings.
Kapil led a 5-year follow-up of an RCT investigating the impact of school-based interventions for attention and hyperactivity problems on children's outcomes and access to services. He was the Nottingham lead on an NIHR HTA-funded RCT (PROMISE) of a school-based CBT intervention to prevent depression in high-risk adolescents.
Currently, Kapil is leading the NIHR HTA-funded STADIA trial investigating the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of a standardised diagnostic assessment for children and young people with emotional difficulties who have been referred to CAMHS (https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/5/e053043.long).
Kapil also led the multi-methods "Far Away from Home" national study which investigated the scale and impacts of far-from-home or out-of-area admissions experienced by young people with mental health difficulties (https://mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/26/1/e300843; https://mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/27/1/e300991). The findings and learning from the "Far Away from Home" study are being adopted into care provision to minimise the extent and impacts of far-from-home or out-of-area hospital admissions.
